>>>>>>>UPDATED! Click here to skip to the review of the live show!<<<<<<< I just got back to Montréal just two months ago after having been away for over a year. Travelling. Journey. Discovering. Learning. I realised recently that I've been really out of touch with the indie scene while I was away. One of the artists that I still kept in touch with while I was travelling though, was M83 . I got their most recent and long awaited two disc release, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming ( Naive Records , Mute Records [...]
wow it's been a long time since my last update. there are so many good tunes i want to share and have been meaning to make a mixtape but for now...some tunes that will definitely keep you warm and lift your soul in the winter. these are tracks that i've been repeating NONSTOP for the past little while. some MONTREAL representation too with JACQUES GREENE . watch out for him, he is going to be big. he's already done remixes of radiohead and the weeknd which are super dope. NEON INDIAN 's new LP is a fantastic listen, [...]
wow. so good. taken from motionographer : - Countdown is a short movie/music video based on the music of Apparat . Directed, designed, animated and composed by Céline Desrumaux . - the track that's featured is "Granular Bastard" off of Apparat's 2003 release, Duplex . if you like what you hear, the rest of his albums/eps/singles are great. intellectual electronic glitchy kinda dub. gaaah nothing can be defined with one word anymore! how awesome. search for more of Apparat's tunes on [...]
just got back from burning man 2011 and it was an effin' blast. couldn't have been with and met better people this year. the music was phenomenal this year. i got grimey to some of the best music in the world with artists coming from outcross, hot creations, dirty bird, crosstown rebel and other down ass record labels. unlike last year where i went to a lot more dubstep glitchy bass shows, this year i was mainly holdin' it down listening to the dirtiest tech house, deep house, and disco house on the playa. i want to share so much [...]
hi everyone! it's been a little while since my last post and since then i have been catching up and listening to soooo much music and there is soooo much good music out right now it's ridiculous. a bunch of new albums, a bunch of a new up and comers...but this post is about what i've been obsessed with lately...new and old...but within the year or so. this post is filled with good beats. trust. let's start with the rapture's incredible new single from their forthcoming album! have been dancing to it all morning since hearing it.

Nujabes (Jun Seba) was a Japanese DJ and hip-hop producer who has produced many albums and compilations filled with soulful and heartfelt beats also influenced by his extensive love of jazz. He's all I've been listening to for the past few days and it makes me sad to think of his passing just a year ago. So thankful for the music and love he's given me and I hope you can feel it too. Turn it up. MP3: Nujabes - Sky is Falling (feat C.L Smooth) [...]
currently, i am in the warmth that is mexico! have been travelling around here for roughly a three weeks now and i have a lot more to explore! before that, as y'all might know, i was at burning man and made a west coast to east coast roadtrip out of it...camping in as many national parks as possible, being with nature, doing amazing hikes, and reconnecting. since my first burn, my music expansion became exponential. the new music i was listening to was an integral part of my travels in america too...a lot of music in this mixtape i was [...]

wow. it's been a loooong time since i've posted but i have good reasons. since my last post, i have had one of the most amazing life changing life rewarding awesome epic all possible positive adjectives at burning man . a festival that everyone should experience at least once (and after that, as many times as humanly possible). since my last post, i have embarked on a journey starting in vancouver, canada all the way down the west coast until san fran camping, hiking, existing within nature...all the way to new york where i am temporarily pro chillin' until [...]

what an epic epic weekend. meg montréal had an incredible lineup, especially for the boat. osheaga had a disturbingly amazing lineup which made this horribly organised festival all the more worth while. so yeah, before i talk about the music, i wanna talk about the osheaga festival. what mainly pissed me off was this whole "green stage" thing...why not have a GREEN FESTIVAL?!?! oooooh, one stage! ONE! raw/vegan/vegetarian green food stand! great way to really show how committed one is to the enviro movement. what is even WORSE is the amount of trash left lying around because we [...]
Osheaga and MEG recaps are on their way. in the meantime, enjoy this incredible video by the chillwave titans, neon indian.
ok folks, am off to osheaga and am already late! this is gon be super quick! so yesterday was the biggest night for meg, boasting a ridiculous lineup with holy ghost, in flagranti, and the well popular french scratch djs, birdy nam nam. club soda was the perfect venue for it despite some minor sound issues, small enough to have a cozy dance party (except for the horrible frenchies who were taking up too much space, were too drunk and literally, literaally fell on top of each other and disturbed everyone in the back), and large enough so we didn't [...]
YESS!!! It starts it starts it starts tonight! ATM will have full coverage of MEG and Osheaga! Stay tuned and rest up your feet for the soirée!
so, lots of things have happened since my last serious post. the montréal jazz fest. tons of shows in between. lots more coming up! i've got die antwoord (YESSSSSSSSSS!) tomors, meg montréal and osheaga are coming up, and i am once again heading off to new york for a week and along the way i will be checking out flaming lips in central park! annnnnd the hard tour in nyc which features m.i.a. and a bunch of crazy fun other artists! i will mos defs be covering meg montréal but i dunno about the rest. oh fiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally! this [...]

hi everyone, sorry for the lack in posts. have been very busy lately...just got back from toronto from the g20 after a week of protesting, marching, and being a flood of different emotions at once. will hopefully have a mixtape for you all soon...i have one prepared already from last month but now with the montréal jazz festival starting...it may be even more postponed...but there will be jazz fest coverage! meanwhile...DON'T believe mainstream media and how they have horribly misrepresented the people, the protest, and our ideologies as well as how they've glamorized the police.
